Turns out that some people just didn’t buy it. Larry Rosen chimed in: Why isn’t the proliferation of commercial licenses an obstacle for procurement? Don’t you have to deal with hundreds of different commercial licenses?
To which the reply was: Well, to be honest, we don’t read the commercial licenses.
